Paddle Steamer Armour kit (x32)

Installing the plates transformed the steamer's look from civil to combat-ready, and the laser-cut tabs locked into place with a satisfying click. My only small gripe is that a couple of the smaller rivets needed a dab of glue to stay put, but the overall fit on the hull is spot-on.

The 32 plates fit snugly over the hull, and the laser cuts are clean enough that I only needed a quick sand on the edges. My steamer now looks properly menacing for the river patrol scenario I've got planned.

The 32 separate plates fit my existing hull perfectly—no gaps where the armour meets the deck. Installation took a lazy afternoon, but the laser-cut precision means every rivet detail lines up without any sanding.
